Ah, I guess I’ll have to question why I am lying to myself then. Don’t be a douchebag. Don’t use open source without respecting copyrights & licenses. The authors are already providing their work for free. Don’t shit on that legacy.

That statement is as dumb as it is non-sensical.

I know both LLM mechanisms better than you, it would appear, and my point is not so weak that I would have to fabricate a strawman that I then claim is what you said, to proceed to argue the strawman.

Using LLMs trained on other people’s source code is parasitic behaviour and violates copyrights and licenses.

Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.

So you use other people’s open source code without crediting the authors or respecting their license conditions? Good for you, parasite.

Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

Only if those other partitions are not encrypted. Sure, it could still wipe them - but that’s something that backups are good for, and something you would certainly notice immediately :)

I noticed they seem to be intentionally locking out smaller domains and I hope that backfires. Not holding my breath though.

Ah, I see. A youngling who never heard of the usenet.

Mobile one absolutely. And they make humans more stupid and the world worse.

So how good did I think my point was? VR is an artificial hype, especially in a time where almost all major game releases lack in story and already put way too much money into graphical effects. It’s a gadget.

let me be the one to say: the only people who “need” VR are those earning their money with selling VR products. No one else in the whole wide world actually needs VR.

Ease of adoption (or appearance of)

Thank you for acknowledging that point. Because since Win7 or so, Almost all major Linux distributions are shitloads easier to learn that any windows environment, no matter how unfamiliar you are with Linux. Basically, all major desktop environments behave like an optimized WinXP desktop.

“I aimed my rifle at that person’s head and pulled the trigger, but I swear I didn’t want them to die”

Tesla should be broken up and reassembled with zero overlap in management.

And yes, legally it won’t stick, but the shitty south african oligarch should absolutely be tried for murder.

relevance in context = 0

Just submitted a similar comment. Thank you for pointing this out as well.

As much as I despise Putin and his regime, this whole story reeks of bullshit. If it’s possible to “plant an incendiary device” on air cargo, then the safety checks are fucked up, also if anyone seriously wanted to bring a plane down, they’d put a trivial pressure sensor inside to trigger at altitude, not a more complex (and error prone) timer.

Are you victim blaming the killed murdered pedestrians?
